Why do you have to politicalize everything up Donal?

Most people do not cross during hurricane season, why did he ?

I like the line "In the dark I could see little of the waves apart from
plumes of white, high above, like ghost horses galloping down on me."

Now if he was a United States Navy Seal, he would of made it without a
problem.

Joe, Americans haven't excelled at solo sailing since Joshua Slocum.

Look ... John... let's not burst their bubble. The USA has claimed Joshua,
we Canadians know he was a Bluenoser....

Well, All I can say is that IIRC I'd seen him referred to as an "American"
on more than one occasion. Maybe he became an American citizen?

Really? Never read that before. Was he an American citizen?

That is a very fair question, Joe.

Why did you stay put during the recent hurricane? Perhaps you are made of
the same stuff as the intrepid explorer?

It was an excellent article. There were many good descriptive lines in it.


Now if he was a United States Navy Seal, he would of made it without a
problem.


.... emmmm ... I think that you are politicizing!!!!



Regards


Donal
